Points to plan for in Aldershot
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Leased premises
If your Aldershot premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Aldershot are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
